My ideal career would be able to get paid to travel the world, explore new cultures, and learn new languages!!! Currently, I'm a travel nurse and it's the closest I can get to somewhat achieving this lol.

I would love to do something with languages. Maybe a translator? I'm currently taking Korean classes. 여러분, 안녕하세요! ì œì´ë¦„ ì• ë¹„. 반갑습니다! ì €ëŠ” 간호사여요. I have 5 years of Spanish under my belt, but it's been forever since I've used it. I plan on becoming fluent in Korean, then brushing up on my Spanish.

My husband is, and works an insane amount. A few weeks ago he didn't see the kids for several days because he was gone by 0600 and came home after we were all asleep. He works on vacation (on his laptop and making phone calls), he never takes a sick day because the work piles up... He definitely earns every dollar! :yes:

I'd be a SAHM if I didn't like nursing so much. Otherwise I'd do special occasion cakes. In my perfect world in which I was guaranteed roles, I'd be a singer (opera or dramatic musical theatre)
